Want. Seriously. I spent so much time playing Lemmings when I was younger. What an awesome game. June of PlanetJune has included crochet patterns and suggestions for accessories on her blog. And to crocheters out there: what better than crocheted Lemmings to go with my Weighted Companion Cube? I mean, really. (Via jwz.)

Blogathon 2009: Fortified with essential caffeines
When I worked at the Great Northern Way Campus, there existed an unwritten but very official decree: under no circumstances was anyone to allow me to have any Red Bull. So… yeah, we’ll see how that goes tonight.
Blogathon 2009: What kind of site do you think this is, anyway?
So I was checking out my Google Analytics stats just now to gauge the impact Blogathon is having upon my site traffic. Answer: lots. Obviously. However, I couldn’t help but notice a number of interesting searches by which people are coming here. Okay, that’s different. Other bewildering search terms people used to arrive here include:… Read more »
Blogathon 2009: In which The Weather stymies Catherine’s plans
So I deliberately brought my bike to Workspace this morning, knowing that if I was lagging this evening, I could go for a nice endorphin-boosting ride up and down Waterfront Road, across the tracks from Gastown. I really can’t say that I was expecting a massive thunderstorm instead. In retrospect, I wish I’d taken the… Read more »
Blogathon 2009: I’m only happy when it rains.
Unexpectedly, it seems that the lower mainland is getting a bit of rain today! “Chance of cloud” in Vancouver turned into thundershowers in the Fraser Valley. There’s already been a couple lightning strikes in the PoCo area, by the sound of the thunder. I love how a thunderstrike brings up multiple “Wow, lightning! Did you… Read more »
Blogathon 2009: Mid-day pledge updates
I’m happy to report that despite my late entry and current sleep deprivation, the current pledges for the Canadian Cancer Society are up to $118 from two donors. So thanks, you guys. I’ll be posting on your requested subjects shortly! (Remember, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society buy you a post on the topic of your… Read more »
Blogathon 2009: In which Catherine is now a cyclist for some reason
So I’ve mentioned this here a few times, but haven’t gone into huge amounts of detail: I have a bicycle again! It’s a Kuwahara-built Apollo road bike, with a 62cm frame with double-butted Tange 900 chromoly steel tubes. From 1984, if the serial number is accurate at all. I bought the frame separately, though it… Read more »
Blogathon 2009: Refueling
Ahh, delicious, delicious food. Courteously donated by Dairy Queen, as it happens. They just delivered it so we’re currently all chowing down. A few people here raised the point earlier that 6am-6am is a pretty difficult schedule to keep, and I definitely agree with that. I usually like to eat lunch 3–4 hours after waking… Read more »
Blogathon 2009: Brewery Creek & Tea Swamp
So when I’m not trying to rattle off 50 blog posts a day from Gastown, I live at the bottom of two hills on an avenue I will describe for hipster-credibility purposes as “just off Main Street.” I’m cool now, right guys? My house is situated directly on top of Tea Swamp, an offshoot of Brewery… Read more »
Blogathon 2009: In Which Catherine Arrives At Workspace.
So I just swept in the door here at Workspace, Blogathon supplies and giant bike in hand, my blog post already late… I wasn’t sure what to expect, but 10 people sitting intently, more silent than a library? Yeah, that wasn’t it. Naturally, I would have had to have opted for the extra loud-and-obnoxious zippers… Read more »
